"I'm here to resign. Originally, I wanted to report to Grandma Cui and stop coming, but I prepared the account book and wanted to ask the princess to see it in person." Lin Sanniang said.
Mu Lingwei flipped through the account book casually and said: "The records are very detailed and the handwriting is beautiful. There are not many cooks like you who can write and do accounting."
"I have read books before." Lin Sanniang said: "I have recorded truthfully. I have never embezzled the palace's money. Please investigate clearly."
"I understand. If you have decided to resign, I will ask Grandma Cui to calculate your wages. You can leave after you receive your wages!"
Mu Lingwei added: "In addition, if you receive an additional ten taels of silver, even if I thank you, you can still come back and cook this meal for the guards today."
When Lin Sanniang heard what she said, she didn't react and was stunned for a moment.
Zhen'er handed Lin Sanniang a cup of tea and said: "Sister-in-law Lin, the princess has already made arrangements when she heard that you were resigning at noon. Even if you don't hand over the account book, the princess will still give you the ten taels of silver reward."
Lin Sanniang said: "Princess, do you believe that I have not embezzled public funds?"
She thought that Manager Zhu was an old man in the palace and the whole family was working for the palace, so the princess would believe Zhu Xiu's words.
Unexpectedly...
Zhen'er handed Lin Sanniang a purse with ten taels of silver in it, and said: "Sister-in-law Lin, take it, this is what the princess gave you in addition to your wages. The princess is not confused and can distinguish it clearly.
Damn, you should go back first while Manager Zhu is away."
Lin Sanniang bit her lip and hesitated to speak. The reward of ten taels of silver could solve many of her difficulties. The children at home would not have to go hungry, and she would also have money to treat their illnesses.
Suddenly, Lin Sanniang knelt down towards Mu Lingwei: "Princess."
Mu Lingwei stood up from the soft chair and asked, "Sister-in-law Lin, what are you doing?"
"I heard from Aunt Cui that the princess's medical skills are very good. I have a merciless request."
Lin Sanniang said again: "I want to ask the princess to treat my daughter. No matter how much money I spend, I am willing. Although I don't have much money now, as long as my daughter can be cured, I will definitely find a way to get the money."
.”
Mu Lingwei stared at her and said in a deep voice: "Since your family is so short of money and your daughter is sick again, why do you want to resign from the palace?"
"I heard from Aunt Cui that she offered you a very generous salary because you have two children at home and no husband. There is no reason for you to give up this job because of Zhu Xiu."
"Your child is still sick, and you need more money to treat her."
Mu Lingwei has already figured out the situation of her family. What is commendable is that Lin Sanniang's family is very difficult, and she has not even been greedy for a single coin. Instead, Manager Zhu has been trying to squeeze out her relatives because he is an old man in the palace.
Lin Sanniang even likes to be cheap, and she takes home the things from the palace at will.
Before Jun Mohan came back, Zhu Xiu's family was taking care of this mansion, and Shangguan Ruizhu would visit it from time to time. She thought that after Jun Mohan died, the mansion would fall into her hands.
Lin Sanniang was completely stunned. She didn't expect that the princess knew everything.
"Now I will give you another choice. You can decide whether to stay or not." Mu Lingwei said solemnly: "If you continue to work in the palace, we will not pay you less, but I require your absolute loyalty.
, with so many people in the palace having dinner, there can’t be any omissions.”
Lin Sanniang stared at Mu Lingwei, "The princess wants to keep me working in the palace?"
"I said, you have a choice. It's up to you whether you want to stay or not. I won't force you." She said, "As for your child's illness, Aunt Cui has already told me. Whether you can do this job or not is up to you."
Bring her here, I'll try my best."
Lin Sanniang was shocked: "The princess is really willing to treat my child, but I heard that the princess's consultation fee is very expensive..."
"I won't charge you any money." Mu Lingwei said calmly: "You should go back and think about it first. If you want to stay, my only requirement is that you must be loyal and you must use your life as a guarantee."
She asked everyone, including Xu Tao, and said that Lin Sanniang's food was delicious and she did not look like someone who would embezzle public funds.
After Mu Lingwei finished speaking, she was about to leave. Lin Sanniang knelt down to her again, her eyes were red, "Princess, please save my daughter, I am willing to repay the princess with my life, even if I don't need wages, I am willing to do so."
Stay and work in the palace as long as you can save my daughter."
"I am willing to sell myself as a slave." Lin Sanniang added: "In fact, there is no one in my family anymore, only two children. If it were not for the two children, I would not be alive."
"Get up." She said: "Aunt Cui has already told you about your family's situation. She also pities you orphans and widowed mothers."
"Thank you, Princess, I will work hard." Lin Sanniang actually didn't want to leave.
Lin Sanniang said again: "I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not..."
Mu Lingwei stared at her, "About Zhu Xiu and her relatives?"
Lin Sanniang nodded: "I know people but not their hearts. Manager Zhu is an old man in the house. I shouldn't talk too much, but..."
After hearing this, Mu Lingwei said calmly: "I know everything you said. You go to work first. Please ask Mrs. Lin to keep an eye on the kitchen. There won't be any mistakes."
After Lin Sanniang left, Zhen'er asked: "Princess, do you think Manager Zhu will betray the palace?"
"Their family has children at home. In recent years, they have not followed Jun Mohan to Linzhou, but have been working on the post. After living a good life, naturally they don't want to be slaves all the time. She arranged for her relatives to work in the palace.
I'm worried that this person is not a relative of hers, but someone with ulterior motives." Mu Lingwei said.
"Why do the princess and Aunt Cui trust Lin Sanniang so much? What if she is the one with ulterior motives?" Zhen'er said: "Actually, if Aunt Zhu and Manager Wang want to get rid of their slave status, that's okay. They don't need to betray.
Prince's Mansion."
"No matter what, let people keep an eye on Zhu Xiu and Lin Sanniang, and keep a closer eye on them in the kitchen. I'm afraid Shen Yu will use some dirty tricks in the dark."
-
At the same time, on the other side, Shen Yu was taking Zhu Xiu's daughter to visit a jewelry store. Their "accidental encounter" was orchestrated by Shen Yu's wife Zhang.
Their fate started when Zhang was "accidentally" injured. Wang Huan'er happened to help Zhang. Zhang thanked her profusely, and the two got to know each other from then on.
After going back and forth like this, Wang Huan'er got to know Zhang's husband Shen Yu, and Zhang created many chance encounters for them. When Wang Huan'er saw the romantic and suave Shen Yu, she naturally became interested.
Wang Huan'er was also immersed in the sweetness. She never thought that she could meet a noble person. Shen Yu gave her a gilt jade hairpin and put it on her bun himself.
He was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, and he looked like a handsome young man. He was dignified and elegant, which made Wang Huan'er feel elated and full of love.
Shen Yu praised: "Miss Huan'er is really radiant."
Wang Huan'er has been well-dressed and well-educated since she was a child. Although her clothes and jewelry are not as good as those of rich ladies from the nobility, they are not inferior to girls from poor families.
However, compared with Zhang, it is still very different.
She said: "Young master Yu gave the slave family such a precious hairpin, and the slave family would never dare to accept it."
"You are my wife's savior and my savior. Even if you give Miss Huan'er the same jewelry, I feel wronged by Miss Huan'er." Shen Yu suddenly held her hand.
Wang Huan'er knew that Shen Yu was Zhang's husband and that she could only marry Shen Yu as a concubine, but she was willing.
It is better to be the concubine of a rich man than the wife of a poor family, otherwise you will be a slave to others for the rest of your life.
She doesn't want to be a slave, she wants to be the master.
Therefore, Wang Huan'er did not refuse Shen Yu's intimate move.
Shen Yu gave her a hairpin, took her to a restaurant for dinner, and opened a private room. Wang Huan'er half-heartedly became Shen Yu's woman.
When he came out of the restaurant, someone told Shen Yu the news that Mu Lingwei had left the palace.
Shen Yu raised the corners of his lips, with a cold look in his eyes, and said: "Let people keep an eye on her, don't scare the snake."
The servants of Anyang Prince's Mansion were well trained, and he finally found a flaw.
Isn’t Mu Lingwei pretty awesome?
But Jun Mohan's people are indeed as skilled as clouds, and he can't touch her.
When he exchanges Princess Anyang for money, let's see how she can run away and be so arrogant...
Shen Yu raised the corners of his lips, feeling more and more that his plan was perfect.
